The Sink & Travel Boulder’s 2019 Boulder Bucket List
Visiting Boulder or showing off our unique community to your out-of-town guests? Our friends at Travel Boulder have created a bucket list with plenty of great activities. From hiking Chautauqua to an adventure along the Boulder Beer Trail – with a stop at our sister restaurant, West Flanders – there’s something for everyone! Of course, they couldn’t have created The 2019 Boulder Bucket List without including a stop at Boulder’s oldest restaurant- The Sink!
The Sink Included in The Daily Meal’s Best Bars in America for 2019
A Letter From John Lund: My Recollections of The Sink and Boulder 1954-1958
Boulder, at that time, was a “dry town” – i.e. no alcohol could be sold – even though you could buy it outside the city limits. Thus, the only “non-alcohol” you could buy was 3.2 beer (3.2% by weight or 4.0% by volume). Since it was “non-alcoholic” you could drink it when you were 18. The other beer tavern that I remember on the hill was Tulagi’s just up the street (now closed). Named for the island in the Pacific where a major WWII battle was fought depicted by a giant painting on the wall – and I think the owner’s son participated in the landing (and was killed), and the other was “TTs” or Timber Tavern on Arapahoe St. in downtown Boulder.
